I still w watch the Rifleman every day
Sad to see that Johnny Crawford passed away.I remember watching him on the Rifleman. We were both the same age and watched him growing up.Back in the 60s just about every show on prime time was either a western or a cop series.

Johnny Crawford used to visit orphanages and Children's Hospitals when he was in the military. He was like a grown up Mark McCain. loved his show when I was younger. RIP
The Rifleman was my favorite. Good shows back then, Maverick, Wagon Train, Sugarfoot, Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne and so many more family shows then. Not so much today.

Johnny Crawford was my first cowboy crush. I was so in love with him and his horse, Blu. I followed his career until his death . He was a great actor and talented singer. Yeah, I miss him.
Paul Fix died in the early 80's. Everyone is gone now from that show, very sad.
R I P to all the cast of the rifleman

Johnny’s brother was in several episodes and he is still alive.
I remember watching "The Rifleman", when it was in it's prime, people would come up to me and tell me I looked just like Johnny Crawford, I'll never forget that. I loved that show, I lived for it to come on TV, I never missed an episode.

Loved johnny Crawford and it disgusts mw that you never mentioned he was a singer after the show ended, before he came to the end of his life. Come on yall yry t0 do dome justice to our favorite characters! So Alzheimers did not kill him but covid19 and pneumonia did! Tell the truth! Loved the Rifeman and used to watch it on METV every Saturday!❤RIP to the cast members all gone on to their reward up above now!❤

Western shows were my favorite TV on Saturday’s. My dad and I would watch every Episode. My dad loved Rifleman so much , I had to get him another Beer during the commercials. Growing up in the late 60’s and 70’s , Westerns was a young boy’s favorite show . This one was and always will be my favorite. R.I.P. to all of the cast members 🙏🏻

It was Paul Fix! , He came out in many western s
Micah was played by Paul Fix
My absolute fav show as a kid
Paul Fix played Mica Torrance
Are you nuts?!? Micah Torrence was played by Paul Fix, and if 57 in the early '60s when the Rifleman series ran, he'd have been over 100 years old when he supposedly died in 2009. Sheesh.
Paw! Paw!!
Thanks for the video
The sheriff was Paul Fix you gave the wrong name. Unless you're speaking of the very first sheriff on the show in the beginning. Micha Torrance was Paul Fix that's the picture you showed.

That whole show was great and I still watch the show on me-tv on the Eastcoast, may all the cast & crew R.I.P. GOD BLESS THERE SOULS AMEN.
Chuck Connors, was a former member of, the olph, drum and bugle Corps, at the time they had a senior Drum Corps, I believe he played baritone bugle. I also was a former member of the olph, drum and bugle Corps, they went known as The Ridge men, I joined in , 1956, I played snare drum, and my brother played tenor drum instructor was Eddie Fitzgerald, may he rest in peace, and my twin brother may he rest in peace. Chuck Connors was a member there before I arrived on the scene, but members spoke about him numerous times, I even sort his old uniform
I liked the show❤.
Attention! This is clickbait! Johnny Crawford never lost his legs, as seen in the initial picture!
this show is my favorite shop
All great actors and missed. I would like to see the regular seen actors like John Anderson on the show and when they passed on.
❤❤❤!

that young guy as mark , he was really cute in this TV show back in day , i watching it off & on in PLUTO TV was before my time ...so sad all gone ...well was VERY old Tv show so i am not surprise & those old days up to 90s was alots older & middle aged cast was in movies & TV shows
Sadly the whole original cast have passed away Johnny Crawford was the last one to die to the show
Paul Fix died in 1983 ... not 2009.
I knew Johnny Crawford in his later years--a nice man. But, that photo of him that you post is misleading--he had both his legs and he was NOT in a wheel chair

Wasn't Paul FIX the marshal?
I loved the show one of my favorites. Mcan was bad ass in his day. Today it's Marshall Givens from Justified played by Timothy Olphant. Also he was bad as s sheriff in Deadwood. Great stuff.
Paul Fix
Marshall Micah Torrance was played by Paul Fix. I think you made a mistake there.
Why in the world did you say we would see what they look like today when all of them are dead?
I all ways seen the Marshall's name was Paul Fix, was the real name.
